Seriously??? Cause you wanted in on the coop. You didn't think to
1. check your other accnt. I know darn well there were pms there waiting for you.
2. I know for a FACT you receive emails on personal msgs.
This is my point exactly. Instead of trying to wear your BGP you went ahead and tried being underhanded and creating a new username on CC so you could get your wool fix.
You still have a ways before your baby is due. Making things right and damn sure EVERYTHING was squared away before making ANY purchases would have been the right thing to do, but hell they have waited this long right so why not splurge and buy some yarn. WTF is your logic???
3. I am positive Amanda remembers her and I were in a trade as well for some MM yarn from the LAST MM coop I ran there. God forbid you own up and say sorry I made you spend $$ on wool and never followed through with our trade.

No, I am sorry Jodi. I did a lot of ASSuming on the part of my status at CC, and that trade. I don't think I can ever explain it, because its not right, I know that its not right, and I should not have done it. This thread has shown me what I didn't see, all lumped together; how many people I really did hurt. That just because they got their stuff back, didn't make it all better. I'm trying right now to do whatever I can to make it better.

ha imagine the convo with UPS - "Yeah, I need to insure this box for $1000"
UPS - "Oh, what are the contents"
"Yarn"
UPS - "Yarn?"
"Well, yeah, hyena cart wool yarn"
UPS -"Who?"
"just insure it"
:toofunny:
anyone outside of the diapering community could NEVER wrap their minds around this whole wool issue. Hell, it blows my mind.
I disagree, you should see some of the yarn hores I know, and none of them buy yarn for longies. A lot of them are buying the expensive types of sock yarns.

I think the problem is she screwed so many people SHE can't keep it straight. There are new people that pop up every.single.day!
Oh then definitely make a list!
That way too she can mark out what she's done and who has gotten paid etc and everyone can see it here--I think that will really help everyone to trust her again.
I did a YFW swap with her back in July and i did receive my newborn set in Nov? Dec? It was late and I rebought the yarn so I could do the set myself but I DID get it. There may be a lot of people to weed through, I'm sure she can get through it! It would make everyone feel better I think! :)

Amanda I suggest as you work each thing out you come here to document, the other party can too. Keep it simple
Something like
EXAMPLE
(momof8 accepted xxxx in repayment. I sent XXXX on this date. DC# or paypal reciept to verify)
Good idea!
No I don't think there is one.. As far as I can tell no one is totally sure of who should be on the list. We get something new every day. I would be happy to let someone compile and go from there. I do think it would help.
I thought there was the beginnings of a list generated???
Wait, hold up. So you made a new CC name because you wanted to join a co-op that you knew they would never have let you join to begin with?
Wow!
Old news but yes.
Seriously??? Cause you wanted in on the coop. You didn't think to
1. check your other accnt. I know darn well there were pms there waiting for you.

I know this was mentioned previously (and kind of in passing) but I think I want to readdress it again. Amanda, I really do think you may have a shopping problem -- I am even gonna go as far as to call it an addiciton. It actually makes total sense with what was going on in your life leading up to and including the loss of your home and cars. You have every single classic sign of being a shopaholic, in addition, addictions like this are usually coupled with depression. Part of getting help is to realize you have a problem and that you try to remedy it. What tipped the scale for me of wanting to address this again was your post on why you created a second user account on CC.
Spending over budget. "Often times a person will spend over their budget and get into deep financial trouble, spending well above their income," says Engs. "The normal person will say, 'Oops, I can't afford to buy this or that.' But not someone who has an addiction," explains Engs -- he or she will not recognize the boundaries of a budget.
Compulsive buying. "When a person with a shopping addiction goes shopping, they often compulsively buy, meaning they go for one pair of shoes and come out with 10."
It's a chronic problem. "A shopping addiction is a continuous problem," says Engs. "It's more than two or three months of the year, and more than a once-a-year Christmas spree."
Hiding the problem. "Shopoholics will hide their purchases because they don't want their significant other to know they bought it because they'll be criticized," says Engs. "They may have secret credit card accounts, too. Because this problem affects mostly women, as alcoholism affects mostly men, husbands will all of sudden be told their wife is $20,000-$30,000 in debt and they are responsible, and many times, this comes out in divorce."
A vicious circle. "Some people will take their purchases back because they feel guilty," says Engs. "That guilt can trigger another shopping spree, so it's a vicious circle." And in these people, debt may not be an issue because they're consistently returning clothes out of guilt -- but a problem still exists.
Impaired relationships (http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/default.htm). "It is not uncommon for us to see impairments in relationships from excessive spending or shopping," says Rick Zehr, vice president of addiction and behavioral services at Proctor Hospital at the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery. "Impairment can occur because the person spends time away from home to shop, covers up debt with deception, and emotionally and physically starts to isolate themselves from others as they become preoccupied with their behavior."
Clear consequences. "It's just like any other addiction -- it has nothing to do with how much a person shops or spends, and everything to do with consequences," says Zehr. "We often get the question around the holidays that because a person spent more money than she intended, does this make her an addict? The answer is no. However, if there is a pattern or a trend or consequences that occur with excessive shopping then the person may be a problem spender -- the hallmark is still loss of control. If they are no longer in control of their shopping but their shopping is in control of them, they've crossed the line."
<snip>
Shopping or spending money as a result of feeling angry, depressed, anxious, or lonely
Having arguments with others about one's shopping habits
Feeling lost without credit cards -- actually going into withdrawal without them
Buying items on credit, rather than with cash
Describing a rush or a feeling of euphoria with spending
Feeling guilty, ashamed, or embarrassed after a spending spree
Lying about how much money was spent. For instance, owning up to buying something, but lying about how much it actually cost
Thinking obsessively about money
Spending a lot of time juggling accounts or bills to accommodate spending

It's kinda funny seeing a lot of the DS mamas coming to CDN all of a sudden....
I knew (barely) Amanda through the KAL and saw lots of work she did over the summer but, then she just vanished and then a couple of months later I found out she was banned over there. So, I hope she gets things straightened out.
What is CC?

So to recap
Jennie is owed yarn to send to an auction winner
Erin is owed a refund of some sort for having to pay another knitter to fix Amandas mistake
Mommyof8 is owed a refund or yarn
Amanda owes Elf 35$ for shipping
I know there are more people involved so please feel free to add to it. It may be better if some type of list of everything is made so Amanda knows who to make amends to as this thread is extremely confusing.
Here is the beginnings of the list...

I am not involved in this fiasco thankfully, but I am shocked that you didn't know how many people you....scammed for lack of a better word. You might not have know it was 30 instead of 29, but you had to know your list was getting up there.
Also, I believe you said that you didn't participate in mediation at DS because you lost your internet, but why didn't you contact them when you got your internet back and try to fix things there? Kudos for not changing your name here, but did you think Mom wouldn't find out? Hell, I am afraid she is going to find out I stole a pack of gum from a store when I was 6.
Anyways, like I said, not involved so don't worry about addressing my questions, but wanted to add that if I was involved there wouldn't ever be a "making it right." That time would have long passed. :twocents: and that won't buy ya much these days.

They werent cool with it but there was nothing they could do because she would not respond to anyone there. She was invited to mediation several times, mods and admins emailed and called several times. She would not make contact at all. It was just brought to the attention of DS admin that she was still posting away over here as well as buying stuff still which is why this got brought up over here. Had she participated in mediation on DS this would have been over months ago.
And since we are on the DS subjust....i see Amanda posted DC #'s for 3 of us...There are a few other questions still though
shortcakes package- when was it shipped and how? The dc that was given to her in mid december has not update at all yet.
another amanda's package- when is it going out
and the shipping that elf and all the DS mamas paid- when will they be reimbursed.
If I missed anyone Im sorry! I am getting confused w/ how many people this affected.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong but Elf has mentioned numerous times that she did not want to be reimbursed. That doesn't excuse what Amanda has done. But I can see how it would not be on the top of her priority list if ELf has said she didn't want to be reimbursed.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong but Elf has mentioned numerous times that she did not want to be reimbursed. That doesn't excuse what Amanda has done. But I can see how it would not be on the top of her priority list if ELf has said she didn't want to be reimbursed.
And are you a mod at DS or something?
Elf did not want to be reimbursed by the mamas whose items were shipped she never said she would not like to be reimbursed at all though. And I thought we said several pages ago that Amanda SHOULD be reimbursing all the shipping costs.
Nope, Im not a mod at DS anymore but Ive been involved in this mess with Amanda since when I was a mod there and I was just trying to keep the list between the sites accurate.

Things I've learned in this thread:
1. what geese means
2. what QFT means
3. that openness is key for resolution
4. that i much prefer the atmosphere here much more than the atmosphere... well, you know.
5. AND the SMILIES! Much better smilies. It warms my inner 12 year old boy heart. Please do NOT use the BCD smileys in the general section of the board. They're for TLS only.

BCD is actually The love shack and its an Opt in forum. If you stop in at the First Stop area and go through all the info there you can get the gist of some of our rules. We just want to keep the general area of the board PG-ish.

The Love Shack used to be called Behind Closed Doors or BCD. I'm pretty sure you can use the Adult section smilies anywhere. I know I've seen the DIAB one around. The last section of smilies should say "Only to be used in the Love Shack." Those are the naughty ones. :kidseyes:

In fairness, she may not know anything yet. DC is not tracking... it is delivery confirmation so they're not required to scan at acceptance, only at delivery. So the USPS may not be able to tell her anything.
IMO, I think she's trying to finally get this resolved as quickly as possible so yeah, maybe she's not on here falling over herself apologizing profusely every time someone posts something new, but instead, rounding up funds, yarn and/or finishing up some knitting so she can actually get this resolved. That's the point of this isn't it? To make her apologies (which she has, whether or not those she's wronged will accept it or find it "sincere enough" is up to them), complete transactions and move on...
I understand you were wronged and you want some sort of retribution, but you seem to be unwilling to accept anything she's done thus far as progress or "good enough". Again, your prerogative, since you were wronged... just making an observation here.
I personally applaud Amanda for doing what she has so far to try to right her wrongs and acknowledging her transgressions. I hope she keeps it up!

i wasnt asking about mine. I clearly said SHORTCAKES DC#. hers was supposedly shipping before Christmas and has not updated at all. Had it actually been shipped it should have been scanned by now...a month is a long time to not show acceptance, progress OR delivery. I find it convenient that she responded about the ones she shipped last week but not shortcakes when I clearly SAID shortcakes in my question....

No defense on the shortcake one, but you did ask about yours and others, as shown above. I think people were merely trying to point out that in those cases there is not necessarily anything she can do about them not updating since it's delivery confirmation, not tracking.

yay. i agree, amanda is definitely doing her best to resolve them. for shortcakes, it could be that one in a chance that it gets lost. i have had 2 lost packages that i've sent out over the past year or so and have had one (not from amanda) become lost as well, even with DC. it does happen

I believe if you are looking for change from someone then you have to allow them to change... it seems that your negative posts would put me off from saying sorry because it seems you wouldn't believe it even if you got one.
Maybe if you just sit tight and let Amanda come around she will want to say sorry.
I don't mean it mean, just that you need to give her an opportunity to change instead of shooting it down before it's happened.
While I realize that Amanda got herself into this mess, it does seem like she is trying to make it right; she is posting here and fixing things with some. I bet you are on her list too.
If you can find it in yourself to find the good in everything maybe this won't be as upsetting to you and by then Amanda will have come around to make good with you.
I am sorry you are in this position. I am sorry for everyone involved.

I am sorry that I was not more proactive in the beginning with my communication before I knew everything was going to hell. I should not have let my financial, social, or personal situation interfere with getting my obligations taken care of. Nor should my depression have gotten in the way. I was wrong; I made a mistake. The consequence of that was the loss of A LOT of trust, and quite a few great friends. I don't take that lightly, either. I can't take it back; I can't make it so it didn't happen.

My mistake in not reading all the 43 pages, I am/was a friend of Amanda's on DS so it certainly wasnt a dig at her, and today was my very first day here and I hadnt even gotten my 10 posts in when I saw Amanda's name and the starting paragraph about it...I was only commenting on the title, and the huge amount of pages. My apologies to the ladies here who thought I was being rude.
And Amanda, I am really glad to see you, I have thought of you often and am so happy to see smilies in your direction again!!!

Just out of curiosity - do you have any intention of rectifying the issue of the fundraiser for Katie of Ewe Need It?? You donated a YYMN or a MYMN and it went for $45. After you bailed and got banned on diaperswappers, I had to refund the mama that paid the $45 from the donation money that should have gone to Katie. Obviously you owe me nothing because it wasn't my money - but if you wanted to do anything, please feel free to send $45 to Katie (I had to contact her myself and have her send me the $45 that she had already put in her bank account so that I could refund the mama that won the auction).

Sweetmonkey
07-15-2010, 04:25 PM
All right, here is the full scoop: :sigh:
Hi, I am the WAHM behind a newish store on HC Sweet Monkey Baby. I have been having pattern lottos and she won one where the requirements were that she had to be a Facebook fan. Well, she entered the drawing 3 days before it ended and then AFTER being selected, she went and finally signed up as a "fan" on my page. Only to leave the group after receiving the pattern. I then blocked her from my page and from my HC. At the time I did not know this was the same Amanda as in this thread. That did not come to my attention until this week, which brings us to the current situation. Nary 2 months later, I put up a new lotto for a pattern. :loveshower: She tried to enter using the blocked account. Three times it told her she could not (I received the copies every time). She then emailed me asking why. Then she tried again to enter and was again blocked. Unfortunately, I was out of town in NYC this weekend and did not see the email until the auction was almost over. Guess who won! She DID!!! :shakehead:???? I was very confused and upset and I started digging. I had assumed she had created a new account to bypass my block, but it is hard to say how long it has been open. She has multiple (at least the 2 she used to win my lottos - a 1/10,000+ chance, BTW - maybe others) accounts on HC and has entered SEVERAL FFS lottos 2+ times. This is just of the ones CURRENTLY running. I emailed Karen and it is the same IP address, but one is "her husband's" and one is hers - despite nothe of the names being hers - "amanda" and "amanda_s" . She may have others; Karen did not say. I feel this is completely wrong. I do not feel like I should "owe" her anything, especially given her disrespect to me and my other customers, whom I feel she is truly cheating. She (not her DH) emailed me 2 nights ago asking where her pattern was and when it would be coming. She emailed again this morning. :speechless:
So, that is the tale. She did to do anything overt it is just a continuance of the same shady behavior (IMO) and I was trying to understand if the other things had been dealt with. My initial plan was to lift her block after she had made good on everything here (that is when I posted the question), but now that I know about the multiple accounts, I don't think I will. :sigh:
Sorry to hash up the crazy but it seems to be continuing along the pattern of her behavior. I was truly just trying to protect my store and see how things had been settled. I try to stay out of the drama. . . :err:

I know several people that have more than one HC...my friend IRL does, and she frequently enters lottos as both herself & her "husband". I never thought of it to be a problem? I mean if you enter in a raffle in person and your husband is with you and he enters too, it's the same thing...right? :shrug:

I don't know. I think on HC it is a bit shady. IRL in a raffle and both people are present then it seems to be a different thing than signing your husband up for something using YOUR email address and doing all of the correspondence on the matter. Honestly, I doubt he knew he entered at all. I somehow think if I had asked her DH 3 days ago before she won, if he knew he had entered he would have said "no."

I say if your DH has an account and enters that's ok. If you signed him up for one just so you could get two chances at a lotto...a bit shady.
Sweetmonkey
07-15-2010, 04:50 PM
And to update further, I just received an email back from her saying that she was not aware why I had blocked her so SHE entered using a differnet account. That means she entered, not her DH and she is correct in that I did not explain to her why I had blocked her. I should have done so I jsut did not foresee a reason at the time. However, now I also KNOW that she is the one who is using the second account. Moreover, SHE is entered in other lottos currently under both names. That is wrong as NEITHER of the accounts are blocked in the other drawings, she is entered twice (that I know of). :twitch:

Raffle = buying a ticket
you can buy as many raffle tickets as you want
signing up under multiple names so you can win a free lotto that has set rules and regulations that clearly are set up so that each user can have ONE entry and then finding ways around that = shady as hell.
not ok.
very disappointing indeed.

I think HC is a little different. I do find it shady as her DH probably wants nothing to do with the pattern. Especially if the wife was told she couldn't enter.
I would report her and not send the pattern. She was told multiple times, with good reason, not to enter.
What a turd this woman is.

Personally I don' think it matters if she used more than one account. the WAHM is entirely within her right to block her once she realized Amanda was completely just looking for a freebie and took herself off the facebook fan page. that's pretty crappy and IMO she has every right to block her from future raffles if its allowed on HC to do so.

How is enter your DH in a lotto when he pays for the clothes and diapers your child wears, supplies for the house ect. a bad thing? I don't think it's shady - not that I've done it, but how is it shady he has a vested interest in winning that lottory too. I know my DH would be like cool enter me for whatever helps us with the boys.

If it were the only thing she had ever done - ever - probably not shady. That could probably be debated back and forth for a while.
But in this situation, it's just the latest of a long list of things. It's just more evidence of shadiness, KWIM? I don't think Sweet Monkey Baby would have brought it up if not for everything else she has done, the stuff listed here AND the fact that Amanda was not following the rules of Sweet Monkey Baby's first lottery. THAT'S what makes it shady.

Well, if HE had entered, it might not have been, but the follow up emails were from Amanda. It does not seem like her DH actually had a thing to do with it.

nope. she sent me yarn as reimbursement. I only posted becasue I know ppl were questioning how many HC accounts she had. wasnt sure if this was one of them or another one.
On another note- I got the camis from her yesterday and im very upset.
The original listing description said- "3 large white nursing camis; target or Wal-Mart brand. one of them, the center strip of fabric (inside the bra part) was cut out"
I received
1 large- w/ the strip cut out and full of stains
1- XL full of stains and
1- without any tags at all and several small stains.
Had the listing said they were all full of stains I NEVER would have purchased them.

Her "husband" entering is NOT a new thing. I had a FFS drawing waaaay back when I was at PrincessFluffyButt and she won. Under her husbands name. This was at least a year ago, maybe more.

Nope nothing new, a good friend just went through this with one of her drawings about 2 months ago. She was banned from entering under her original UN, used a new one and her hubby's.
